Giants left tackle Will Beatty went under the knife on New Year's Eve to repair a fractured tibia, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person requested anonymity in order to speak freely on the matter.

Beatty should be off his feet in a few weeks when he'll start a rehab process that will have him ready for the start of the 2014 season.

The encouraging news is that Beatty did not have any ligament damage following the hit in the team's season finale against the Redskins. He was originally ruled out of the game with a knee issue.

He will do a majority of his rehab at the team's facility in East Rutherford.

Beatty had a difficult season and was credited for 13 sacks. He talked about the mental struggle of living up to a five-year, $37.5 million contract and how he adjusted too much in his technique before the season.

Jerry Reese still has faith in his franchise left tackle, now we'll see how quickly Beatty can get back on the field to prove it.
